                      VIETNAM VETERANS MOVING WALL

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to 
those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom, our servicemen 
and women.
  This Monday is Memorial Day, a day when America will recognize those 
who have served our country in war and peace. This weekend in our 
district I will visit the Moving Wall, a small replica of the sacred 
Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The Moving Wall is a half-sided replica of 
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial which is in Washington. It has been 
touring the country for nearly 20 years.
  The Moving Wall allows people who cannot visit the breathtaking 
Vietnam Veterans Memorial a chance to experience this legendary 
landmark. The Moving Wall will be in Allen, Texas, open to the public 
24 hours a day from May 24 to May 30 at Bethany Lakes Park. I encourage 
the people of north Texas to visit this excellent tribute to our 
veterans. God bless our servicemen and women. I salute you. May God 
bless America.
